The Stones' Bigger Bang


I was fairly appalled to see that there have been threads on this site in the past few days about such worthy topics as Bob Denver's passing, but no posts about the Stone's first studio album in nearly eight years.

So, given that this is site is populated by music lovers (as opposed to equipment geeks who have to be reminded about music), let's hear it. Who has spun the new album and what do you think? I think there are five or six good to very good songs on it, and one great song (the blues tune "Back of My Hand"). I think the much-hyped "Streets of Love" is the worst song on the album -- overproduced crap that sounds like Jagger's mostly awful solo albums.

Overall, an honest album and fair contribution to what is, in my opinion, the most distinguished (and by far, deepest) catalog in rock music.

I think they are really marinettes operated by a computerized puppeteer software program written by Tom Jones.
Yeah the Stones disco stuff was really distinguished. There is nothing more synergistic than Keith Richards and polyester.
Satanic Majesties Request was released in late 1967. Hey, what's 22 years?
:-)))))
>>The closer they get back to the sound of "Exile," the better.

Keep on dreamin'. Tumbling Dice and Hip Shake have been replaced by the Metamucil Waltz.
